“…The pitiless Syrian engine of war grinds on.”
Irrespective to all the reports detailing US/NATO/Israeli/Saudi funding and training of terrorists in Syria since 2011, with the well documented aim of regime change, the author believes this to be a Syrian war? Unlike the media blackout of the Yemen war, the evils of interventionist policy are plain to see.

It’s tough for some people but whose problem is it? Cavalier European governments have sought to take the moral high ground by making hasty decisions that will eventually harm their societies. Letting hordes of people into your society who have little commonality in many ways is storing up trouble for the future. Numbers and integration is the question, and when the numbers get large then integration is no longer a necessity. This is the obvious experience over the past 50 years. Muslims in particular (but also others from the Indian subcontinent) have such a foothold in Europe, because of their numbers, that they are now a self-sustaining separate community who don’t need to integrate and largely won’t integrate – unless we all become muslims. Bringing in hundreds of thousands, possibly adding up to millions in the end, is great for the migrants since they get immediate relief, but it only exacerbates the harm to the people in whose societies they invade. There are other societies more akin to these economic migrants and refugees, and their journey to these other places would be easier and less dangerous, but why haven’t these kindred societies done more? It’s as though they’re just sitting back looking at panicky European governments trying to uphold principles that were forged in different times, and they must gaze in disbelief that Europe is being Islamised by irresolute moral panic – without formal invasion plans and without violence on their part. The current situation must be very welcome to muslim leaders around the world – a greater purchase on Europe than they could have dreamed of.

It was sad to see what is going on there. That young lad Mohammed who is only 13 but is so clever as to make a model of a newly built modern city and wants to be an architect. I truly hope his dream comes through and that Mohammed and other brave children like him in Syria do not have to suffer much more. Mary Co Wexford Ireland
